The following text and images are by The
Renzo Piano Building Workshop for
their Peek und Cloppenburg Department Store in Cologne,
Germany, currently under construction.
The German chain store Peek und Cloppenburg
was looking to set up a new commercial space in the center of
Cologne, near the city's cathedral. Our client already had a
reasonably clear idea of the type of building it wanted to construct:
it should evoke a close association between glass and wood, along
the lines of the IBM
traveling pavilion. |
